I was wrecked on a rocky and desolate shore

Author: J. E. French

I was wrecked on a rocky and desolate shore,
Sinking slowly beneath the wild sea;
When all of my struggles and efforts were o’er,
Christ threw out the life line to me.

Refrain:

He threw out the life line to me,
He threw out the life line to me,
From Calvary’s tree,
Far over the sea,
Christ threw out the life line to me.


The billows were dashing, the waves rolling high,
No help from the land could I see,
When hope had all vanished and danger was nigh,
Christ threw out the life line to me.

Refrain

When all was confusion ‘midst dark billows’ roll,
No light thro’ the gloom could I see,
By trusting Him fully He rescued my soul,
Christ threw out the life line to me.

Refrain

Your sins like the billows around you may rise,
And dangers your frail bark pursue,
There’s one who will heed you and hear your faint cries,
He’ll throw out the life line to you.

Refrain
